Uli Lenz Bavarian Boogie Goethe-Institut October 24, 2004 in Pakistan






Exerpt of the performance at Karchi with GoetheInstitut 2004

"Lenz and Berns delivered four more tunes, including a medley for the finale, before wrapping up and proceeding to dinner. In an impressive performance, Lenz showed he is an expressive player, while Berns, whom the pianist dubbed “one of Europe’s best bass players,” definitely proved his worth with elaborate note-playing, at times erasing the distinction between guitar and bass"

Uli Lenz Gedanken #1



Hallo Fans,

"Bin gerade dabei, Duke's Sophisticated Lady wieder neu durchzuhören, one of my favorites.
Ich erinnere mich an Nicaragua 1989. Gastierte mit meinem damaligen Trio mit Günter Lenz am Bass und Allen Blairman am Schlagzeug in der Aula einer Schule in Managua. Fand ein altes Poster im Papierkorb: The Duke Ellington Orchestra live usw. von 1959!! Der grosse Duke hatte in derselben Aula gespielt, und der Papierkorb war seit 30 Jahren nicht geleert worden!!"

Euer Uli Lenz
